Apocalypse: Everyone Levels Up, I Return to the Time Before the Server Opened Chapter 45 - The Game Arrives Early?!

Chapter 45: The Ga Arrives Early?!

Upon arriving ho, Ye Qiu wasted no ti and imdiately started making Molotov cocktails.

He had a vague idea of what was happening.

Although the ga data would be granted to everyone in ten days, the monsters from the ga might have already started appearing ahead of schedule.

This had happened in his previous life.

So people had managed to record blurry, long-distance footage.

In the video, there was a barrage of gunfire, explosions lighting up the sky, and massive figures erging.

However, the official explanation at the ti was that it was a joint military and police exercise.

Experts on the internet debunked the rumors, claiming the video was edited with special effects.

As a result, the general public didn’t pay much attention to it.

After all, there were no similar reports from foreign sources.

Just as Ye Qiu was focused on making Molotovs, his phone rang.

He answered casually.

A pleasant voice ca from the other end: “Ye Qiu, the school just notified us that classes will resu as normal tomorrow. I tagged the whole class in the group chat, but you’re the only one who hasn’t responded.”

It was Su Xintong, the class president.

Ye Qiu replied offhandedly, “Get a leave of absence for half a month.”

Su Xintong was montarily stunned before saying, “For long-term leave, you need to co to school and talk to the teachers in person—”

Before she could finish, Ye Qiu interrupted, “I don’t have ti. Not going.”

With that, he hung up and powered off his phone.

—

In a small apartnt in the old district of Anlong City, Su Xintong stared at her phone, feeling frustrated.

“Ugh! What kind of person is that?”

School had announced that classes would resu as usual the next day, and students were allowed to go ho freely.

Su Xintong had co ho just to pack so things before heading back to school.

The college entrance exams were approaching, and she needed to focus on her studies.

Beside her, another girl about the sa age was scrolling through her phone, occasionally complaining, “Ugh, social dia is so boring these days. It’s all about that brain-ga thing!”

The girl was quite pretty, just as attractive as Su Xintong.

The only difference was their temperant.

Su Xintong huffed, “There’s this one classmate who’s just impossible to deal with!”

The girl giggled, “Co on, Xintong, you’re the class monitor, but you don’t have to care about every single student, do you?”

Then, she added with a smirk, “Ever heard this phrase before? ‘Let go of your savior complex and respect other people’s fate.’”

“But… his family situation is special,” Su Xintong argued.

The girl put her phone down, looking puzzled. “Special how? Business tycoons? Governnt officials?”

Su Xintong sighed. “He’s an orphan. His parents passed away in an accident before he ca of age.”

The girl scoffed, unimpressed. “Oh, just an orphan? That’s it?”

Su Xintong was montarily speechless.

Her friend, Qin Sisi, ca from a privileged background.

Her father was a minor official, but their ho was always bustling with influential guests, and people constantly brought gifts.

She wasn’t a bad person. She was just soone who had grown up in an environnt that shaped her into being a bit realistic and prideful.

Qin Sisi went on, “He’s an orphan and still refuses to fit in? He’s bringing this on himself. Why do you care? People like him won’t achieve anything in life. Instead of wasting energy on him, you should focus on yourself, make valuable connections, and secure a bright future for yourself and your family!”

Su Xintong couldn’t help but chuckle at her friend’s straightforwardness.

She knew Qin Sisi ant well, but she still said, “My dad always told to never look down on anyone around you. Soone who seems ordinary today might beco extraordinary tomorrow.”

Qin Sisi gave her a sideways glance before rolling her eyes. “That’s probably why your dad is still just a taxi driver.”

Su Xintong: “…”

That ticked her off.

What is wrong with being a taxi driver?

And more importantly, that is my dad!

Realizing she might have gone too far, Qin Sisi quickly tried to smooth things over.

“I didn’t an you or your dad specifically. It’s just that people love to say things like ‘Don’t underestimate the young,’ but most of the ti, those kids still end up being nobodies.”

Su Xintong stayed silent.

Qin Sisi then switched the topic.

“Alright, alright, let’s talk about sothing fun. Have you played that brain-ga thing yet? Everyone’s talking about it!”

Su Xintong nodded at first, then shook her head.

“I made a character, but as soon as I saw people killing small animals… and the animals fighting back… It was too grueso, so I quit right away.”

Qin Sisi instantly felt like she found a kindred spirit.

She hugged Su Xintong excitedly, nodding.

“Exactly! It’s bloody and disgusting! And the pain level is supposedly 100% real! Who in their right mind would play that?”

But Su Xintong had a different view.

“Since it’s in our brains, it might impact the real world in the future. I plan to get used to it and give it another shot later.”

Qin Sisi imdiately let go of her, looking exasperated.

“Xintong, even you think this ga will change the world?”

After a brief hesitation, Su Xintong nodded lightly.

Qin Sisi sighed. “My dad and my boyfriend say the sa thing. They keep telling to take it seriously and level up in the ga.”

Hearing that, Su Xintong suddenly thought of Ye Qiu.

During their call earlier, he had also urged her to level up as soon as possible.

Qin Sisi continued, “I just don’t get it. It’s just a ga. How is it supposed to change anything? My family already has everything, and my boyfriend’s family is even more powerful. Once I graduate and marry him, I’ll be set for life…”

Su Xintong listened quietly, already familiar with Qin Sisi’s circumstances.

Her boyfriend, Cao Fan, ca from a family in real estate — one of the world’s top 500 companies.

He was good-looking and from an influential family.

Their parents had arranged their marriage early on, and as soon as Qin Sisi graduated high school, they would start planning the wedding.

Education could wait until after she got married and had children.

That was normal in their circles.

Qin Sisi finished her rant and turned to Su Xintong with a playful grin.

“Enough about . What about you? Got a crush on anyone?”
